I just started to backup the server to reinstall it in the SSD. It'll still be accessible until the physical shutdown.

As you might have noticed, it's not updating since 25/06 7:30. I found out the problem already, but still no clue where to start to fix it. Actually I'm hoping that new installation will fix it!

Also, now I found out the first server problem that is the reason why it's at my home now. For some reason I absolutely don't know why, it get REALLY slow when connected to a gigabit network.

I found this out while connecting it to a gigabit switch instead of directly connected to my router to do the backup... Would be faster, of course... Now it'll take sometime. Hopefully it'll be fixed with fresh install. Otherwise I'll try an Intel NIC instead of this crappy Realtek.

Not that I actually need a gigabit network, even ISP only provides 20mbps and traffic is far below that, but since the server is hosted somewhere else for free, I don't wish to get them trouble always reminding I need a 100mbps port instead.

I'll take a shower now and pour some coffee hoping backup finish soon.

Even though I bought the MB last year, I just figured it out that it relies on SATA2 controller. I didn't notice at the time because the HDDs I was installing are SATA2. So... SSD won't be as fast as I was expecting, but probably much faster still. If you know a good and cheap enough SATA3 PCI-Express card, let me know!

I already installed OS again, BUT NIC problems are still there. Digging Google I found out it's an issue with Realtek firmware from long time. Solution seems to download firmware from Realtek website and compile it. Let's see if I still remember how to do it!

And at least but not last I got a call from one of my customers and need to travel for few days, screwing my weekend and server rebuilding. Hopefully during Brazil's game on Monday (02/07) I'll have time to continue the job.

Until that www.kakaostats.net will redirect to this post, and I'll keep updating here as things goes by.
